A Tale Of Two Burning Hearts Poem by Subhas Chandra Chakra

A Tale Of Two Burning Hearts

Rating: 5.0


Lo...darling!


Time and Space

Have separated us

Away from each other.



As the still air

Carries no essence,

Although petals emit them

Off the flowers-


As the still water

Carries no current

Though waves exist

Upon its bed of slumber...


So does the still time

And the dead still space

Between you and me,


Between hearts and hearts,

Between the burning desires

Bluer than the Sea,

Bluer than the sky,

Bitterer than the torturing distance,

Sweeter than the morning note, sung-

In the hottest of the summer days

By the bird called Cuckoo, the ever

Silence breaker and

The breaker of the hearts! !

As the still air Carries no essence, Although petals emit them Off the flowers- As the still water Carries no current Though waves exist Upon its bed of slumber... So does the still time And the dead still space Beautiful lines. Love to read again and again.
